Raúl Alejandro Ocasio Ruiz, known professionally as Rauw Alejandro, is a Puerto Rican singer and rapper. His accolades include two Latin Grammy Awards, two Billboard Latin Music Awards and an iHeart Radio Music Award.
After quitting soccer, he was left in a light depression, so, to improve his mood, he decided to switch to a music career and begin publishing songs through SoundCloud in 2014.
In 2018, he was chosen by Sony Music Latin to be part of "Los Próximos", a musical project in which the label sought to enlist new musical talents. The musical project helped him gain fame, and, as a result, other noteworthy artists began to hear his music. Alejandro was then featured in multiple collaborations, including Kevin Roldán and Khea's "Pa' Tu Casa" and "Luz Apagá" with Ozuna, Lunay and Lyanno, that year.
In April 2022, Alejandro featured on Colombian artist Shakira's single "Te Felicito" and in its accompanying music video. "Te Felicito" reached #1 on the Billboard US Latin Airplay, Latin Pop Airplay and Latin Rhythm Airplay charts, and #10 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart. The single's official music video has received over 606 million views on YouTube.
